    Legends being in my eyes "Old School Maple but better", I think it would be nice to revamp reused textures which, while having been in the original game since the start, just really don't make any sense.

    Two reused textures like that I can think of are:

    [​IMG]Gold Surfboard -> [​IMG]Purple Surfboard
    and
    [​IMG]Black Surfboard -> [​IMG]Sky Blue Surfboard

    Compare this to the similar:
    [​IMG]Dark Snowboard -> [​IMG]Sky Snowboard
    and
    [​IMG]Black Umbrella -> [​IMG]Sky Blue Umbrella

    The solution?:
    Making the colors fitting similar to this:

    Gold Surfboard:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Black Surfboard:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Opinions?

    Thank you for reading :cool:

    Makes sense to me! Love that you adjusted the sprites to show what they could look like.

    In reality no one uses these surfboards even, purple surfboars which is good is barely used
    Why invest time in re - coloring?

    Personally I would agree, if anything for the extra polish of these weird inconsistencies that were left in place from the old times.
    It's also true that it might be seen as moving further away from legacy content without a specific gameplay need, as was argued for example when we introduced the lv35 Maple Dagger, so this time I'd rather be more careful and listen to more voices, before committing to it.

    As a note, regardless of the feedback, this is not something that would come out in an upcoming patch, as it's relatively time-consuming in a field for which we already have a lot of work in progress.

    Thanks!

    This suggestion is simply a recolouring of already existing items that makes alot of sense.

    The maple dagger is a custom addition that has no function other than being an upgrade over the iconic Korean fan (I love Korea).

    Agreed this would move further away from legacy content. I see this as something that doesn’t really have much nostalgic value and more fixing things that objectively make no sense.

    I think compared to one of the biggest impacts on moving away from legacy content; the new version hair and eyes, which in my opinion immediately stand out as unfitting in the environment of old Maple and the new towns with the content + items that came with that (which generally is a very good addition imo), mean that changes and additions to items, like renewing these surfboards, adding a new Maple Dagger or something I would like to see - Pirate equip variants, is just improving old Maple as Legends is already long gone from legacy GMS.

    But that’s my view on things, both staying closer and moving away from legacy GMS makes sense to me and I don’t mind either :cool:
